To solve this matching problem, we simplify each left - hand expression and find its equivalent on the right - hand side:
1. For \(3(2x + 5)\)
Step 1: Apply the distributive property \(a(b + c)=ab+ac\)
Using the distributive property with \(a = 3\), \(b=2x\) and \(c = 5\), we get \(3\times2x+3\times5\)
Step 2: Calculate the products
\(3\times2x = 6x\) and \(3\times5=15\), so the expression simplifies to \(6x + 15\), which matches option \(k\).
2. For \(10+25y\)
Step 1: Factor out the greatest common factor (GCF)
The GCF of 10 and 25 is 5. We can write \(10 + 25y=5\times2+5\times5y\)
Step 2: Apply the distributive property in reverse \(ab + ac=a(b + c)\)
Using the reverse distributive property with \(a = 5\), \(b = 2\) and \(c=5y\), we get \(5(2 + 5y)\), which matches option \(d\).
3. For \(4x+7 - x\)
Step 1: Combine like terms (terms with \(x\))
\(4x-x=(4 - 1)x\)
Step 2: Calculate the coefficient
\(4-1 = 3\), so the expression simplifies to \(3x + 7\), which matches option \(g\).
4. For \(y + y\)
Step 1: Combine like terms
\(y+y=(1 + 1)y\)
Step 2: Calculate the coefficient
\(1+1 = 2\), so the expression simplifies to \(2y\), which matches option \(f\).
5. For \(4(2y-9)\)
Step 1: Apply the distributive property \(a(b - c)=ab - ac\)
Using the distributive property with \(a = 4\), \(b = 2y\) and \(c=9\), we get \(4\times2y-4\times9\)
Step 2: Calculate the products
\(4\times2y = 8y\) and \(4\times9 = 36\), so the expression simplifies to \(8y-36\), which matches option \(k\) (wait, there is a typo, it should be option \(k\) was for \(6x + 15\), let's re - check. Wait, the right - hand side option for \(8y-36\) is \(k\) (assuming the option \(k\) is \(8y - 36\)).
6. For \(3x + 20\)
Step 1: Let's simplify the right - hand side option \(c:5(x + 4)-2x\)
First, apply the distributive property to \(5(x + 4)\): \(5x+20-2x\)
Step 2: Combine like terms
\(5x-2x=(5 - 2)x=3x\), so \(5(x + 4)-2x=3x + 20\), so \(3x + 20\) matches option \(c\).
7. For \(20x\)
Step 1: Let's simplify the right - hand side option \(j:22x-2x\)
Step 2: Combine like terms
\(22x-2x=(22 - 2)x = 20x\), so \(20x\) matches option \(j\).
8. For \(2x+3\)
Step 1: Let's simplify the right - hand side option \(l:4x + 3-2x\)
Step 2: Combine like terms
\(4x-2x=(4 - 2)x=2x\), so \(4x + 3-2x=2x + 3\), so \(2x + 3\) matches option \(l\).
9. For \(9 + y+4y\)
Step 1: Combine like terms (terms with \(y\))
\(y + 4y=(1 + 4)y = 5y\)
Step 2: The expression becomes \(9+5y\), which matches option \(a\).
10. For \(7y-8\)
Step 1: Let's simplify the right - hand side option \(b:6y + y-8\)
Step 2: Combine like terms
\(6y + y=(6 + 1)y=7y\), so \(6y + y-8=7y-8\), which matches option \(b\).
11. For \(4 + 3(2y+1)\)
Step 1: Apply the distributive property to \(3(2y + 1)\)
\(3\times2y+3\times1=6y + 3\)
Step 2: Add 4 to the result
\(4+6y + 3=6y+(4 + 3)=6y + 7\), which matches option \(h\).
12. For \(6x + 15\)
We already saw that \(3(2x + 5)=6x + 15\), so it matches option \(k\) (the left - hand side \(6x + 15\) matches the right - hand side option \(k\) which is \(6x + 15\) from \(3(2x + 5)\) simplification)
Final Matches:
- \(3(2x + 5)\) - \(k\) (\(6x + 15\))
- \(10 + 25y\) - \(d\) (\(5(2 + 5y)\))
- \(4x+7 - x\) - \(g\) (\(3x + 7\))
- \(y + y\) - \(f\) (\(2y\))
- \(4(2y-9)\) - \(k\) (\(8y - 36\)) (assuming option \(k\) is \(8y - 36\))
- \(3x + 20\) - \(c\) (\(5(x + 4)-2x\))
- \(20x\) - \(j\) (\(22x-2x\))
- \(2x + 3\) - \(l\) (\(4x + 3-2x\))
- \(9 + y+4y\) - \(a\) (\(9 +…
